A Wisconsin judge charged with helping a man illegally evade immigration agents is seeking donations to fund her court defense. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan announced Friday that she’s set up a fund to cover the costs of her defense. The fund issued a statement saying that the case against her is an “unprecedented attack on the independent judiciary by the federal government.” Dugan has hired a group of high-powered lawyers led by former U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic. The fund statement said that Dugan plans to resume her work as a judge and they won’t accept contributions that could compromise her judicial integrity. She will accept money only from U.S. citizens but won’t take donations from Milwaukee County residents; attorneys who practice in the county; lobbyists; judges; parties with pending matters before any Milwaukee County judge; and county employees. Former state Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske will manage the fund.
